內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介:Sutcliffe's masterfully composed photographs evince an eye for color, clarity, and balance as they document Rosie's puppyhood and early training, then capture spontaneous scenes of her at work with disabled children and despondent nursing-home residents. Accompanied by Calmenson's succinct yet sensitive descriptions of Rosie's varied work situations, each pictured visit attests to the joy and comfort Rosie brings to others. This is a close-up, valuable, and charming look at the contributions made by working dogs like Rosie."-ALA Booklist Like most dogs, Rosie loves to play fetch, have her belly scratched and meet new people. She is also a working dog: Rosie visits people in hospitals, schools, and nursing homes. Her job is to cheer up the children and adults she visits. This story of Rosie's puppyhood, careful training and first outings, accompanied by full-color photos, will win the hearts of readers.
作者簡(jiǎn)介:Stephanie Calmenson has written many popular books for children. Her work has been called" marvelous" by Publishers Weekly, "lyrical" by School Library Journal, and "sweet, funny, and right on the mark" by Booklist. For Clarion, she has written Shaggy, Waggy Dogs and Rosie: A Visiting Dogs Story, which Smithsonian called "one of the outstanding nonfiction titles of the year." Stephanie says, "It might surprise those who have read her book to find out that at home Rosie has chewed important papers, stolen socks, and nabbed food from the table. But she's definitely my Perfect Puppy."Justin Sutcliffe is an award-winning UK based photographer with editorial and commercial experience.
